The price on salmon would raise a little 
every few days. There were three boats 
buying salmon and the fish would go to 
the highest bidder. At the last of the sea¬ 
son we were getting from 4^2 to 6 % cents 
a pound for our fish. 
As it was rainy with little early promise 
of good fishing, on November 26th we 
started home, going by rail by way of 
Eugene. We fished 48 days and caught 
1,602 salmon. In addition we killed one 
deer, one otter, three mink and about 125 
ducks and shags. 
THE MOST ANCIENT GAME OF SKILL 
H UNTING is the most ancient and the 
most complex game of skill known 
to the human race. It makes greater 
demands upon the physical strength and 
endurance, moral determination and pa¬ 
tience, mental quickness and flexibility and 
nervous co-operation and control than any 
other pastime indulged in by man. 
The successful hunter is the embodiment 
of the supreme development of the human 
animal. Had the ancestors of the race 
failed as hunters, humanity would be 
known simply by the fossil remains dug up 
in future ages by the scientists of some 
more efficient form of life. 
Whether he consciously knows it or 
not, the man who goes hunting is simply 
seeking an answer to the questions: 
“Have I brought this magnificent brute, 
given to be the servant and executive of 
my intellect, to its fullest development? 
“Is it sound in heart and wind, stanch 
in bone and muscle, keen in sense and rea¬ 
son, patient under toil and hardship, quick 
and accurate in action, fit under all cir¬ 
cumstances to express a man’s soul?” 
All our imposing superstructure of spir¬ 
itual, mental and material civilization is 
founded upon the simple primitive ability 
to get meat, food for the family. 
Going hunting is the average man’s way 
of inspecting the foundation of his being. 
We personally entertain the belief that 
when this foundation of animal efficiency 
crumbles beneath a man—or a nation—the 
superstructure erected upon it, be it ever 
so imposing, will ultimately fall down—if 
it is not previously pushed over. 
The Utica Duxbak Corporation, of 
Utica, N. Y., have recently published a 
particularly handy digest of the game laws 
of the country that they are distributing 
to sportsmen both through the trade and 
on application by mail. These little book¬ 
lets in addition to the pages devoted to 
game laws also contain a number of time¬ 
ly hints and suggestions to campers and 
outdoorsmen on hunting equipments, fires, 
and forest preservation. They are well 
worth writing for. 
The Northern Nut Growers’ Associa¬ 
tion wishes to interest the Boy Scouts in 
an effort to find and preserve the valuable 
native nut trees of America. 
For that purpose it offers a five-dollar 
prize to any Boy Scout who shall win any 
one of the association’s prizes. For par¬ 
ticulars address the National Organization, 
200 Fifth Avenue, New York.
